Angelina Jolie was born (June 4, 1975; 9:09 am; Los Angeles) with maternalistic Ceres in her tenth house, a placement which until now has fulfilled itself through adoption. With Venus Rising, Angelina is rightfully identified as the Goddess of Beauty. This Venus squares Uranus, electrifying her overall aura, but the stressful aspect also makes committed relationships difficult.

Brad Pitt's "State of Play"
November 26, 2007
the natural tension between his personal needs and the needs of his producers (MC). His Sun is also conjunct Vesta, the asteroid bestowing devotion to one's calling, often portrayed as a workaholic. The prominence of Vesta shows his keen interest in the craft of filmmaking.
On November 14, Mars turned retrograde at 11º Cancer, while nearly exactly opposite Pitt's natal Mars at 10º Capricorn. For the last three weeks, Pitt has been butting heads with the producers, precisely as this Mars-Mars vibe has been playing out. Pitt's Mars is conjunct Mercury, the planet associated with writing, so that his refusal to participate can be directed at the script's flaws.
Pitt's Mercury is currently being activated by transiting Vesta and progressed Vesta – they're both exactly conjunct his natal Mercury. It seems apparent that Pitt would do the film if the writing was up to his expectations. Although the studio is now asking Russell Crowe if he wants to fill in, Pitt may be playing a waiting game. On November 30, transiting Jupiter will be conjunct his Sun, bringing him whatever he wishes.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston Become Friends
NewsScope; June 19, 2001.Angelina Jolie was born a versatile Gemini (June 4, 1975; 9:09 am; Los Angeles, CA;) with her Moon in action-packed Aries. Having Mars and Jupiter also residing in Aries gives her the jump on most anyone. Mars especially is powerfully placed with a death-defying opposition to Pluto, and romantically, cinematically enhanced by to Neptune.
Jolie's Sun is conjunct the marriage asteroid Juno, and thus she gives much credit to partner Billy Bob Thornton. "I have someone in my life who makes me discover what it is to be a woman, and really to be free, to try things." This Sun-Juno conjunction is in line with this summer's blockbuster Saturn- Pluto opposition, and while this may raise her to superstar status, it may likewise bring tremendous strain to her primary relationship.
Saturn Tests Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt
NewsScope, March 23, 2003
Rumors abound that Hollywood's hottest couple, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, are heading for divorce. She forgot to thank him during her acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards; he was a no-show at the People's Choice Awards. He's been spending weekends by himself at their Santa Barbara getaway, and when they are together they don't seem very affectionate. What's going on?
Brad Pitt was born with his Sun in trendy Sagittarius (December 18, 1963; 6:31 pm; Shawnee, OK). His sex appeal derives from his well-placed Mars in Capricorn, which is strengthened by trines to Uranus and Pluto, and given a bold streak by a square to Jupiter. One possible contention is that Brad's Ceres, the asteroid governing his parenting instincts, is being awakened by transiting Uranus.
Angelina Jolie Opens Pandora's Box
NewsScope, July 28, 2003
As the sequel to Lara Croft Tomb Raider opened last weekend, the film's edgy but beautiful star Angelina Jolie was making the TV circuit to help promote the film. In a variety of frank interviews, Jolie discussed her feud with Jon Voight, her father, her sudden and confusing divorce from Billy Bob Thornton, and the new love in her life, her adopted Cambodian boy.
Transiting Saturn in Cancer is testing everyone's family dynamics, and for Jolie it's particularly maddening. As Saturn goes through her Twelfth House of the past and squares her Mars, she's re-visiting her relationship with the men in her life. Transiting Saturn remains in this degree area over the next year, describing a process that's likely to bring a lot of emotional pain and frustration, but hopefully a ray of hope through understanding.
Brad Pitt, International Film Star
NewsScope; May 17, 2004
The $200 million sword and sandal epic Troy opened last weekend, with its success resting on the shoulders of legendary Hollywood star Brad Pitt and his portrayal of the legendary Greek hero Achilles. During many months of private training, Pitt transformed himself into a buff, expert swordsman, giving him, as one critic wrote, "an unpretentious, poetically fluid, almost effortlessly deadly style of screen combat."
Brad Pitt was born (December 18, 1963; 6:31 am; Shawnee, OK) with his Mars exalted in Capricorn. Mars, often referred to by astrologers as one's Inner Warrior, is fortified by power-enhancing trines to Uranus and Pluto, and given a sense of adventure by a square to Jupiter. Pitt found the personal discipline to reshape his body when transiting Saturn entered Cancer last year and began opposing his Mars.
Pitt, ironically, injured his Achilles tendon while acting as Achilles. The synchronicity reflects eerie parallels to Pitt's own love life, since Achilles' weakness was his womanizing. As transiting Saturn opposed Pitt's Mars, he was also filming with Angelina Jolie, and the two are rumored to have had an affair (as suggested in December 16, 2003 NewsScope). Now, as transiting Saturn makes its third and final opposition to his Mars, the results of his past actions are coming in.
With transiting Jupiter conjunct Pitt's Ninth House Uranus-Pluto conjunction, the movie's biggest success will likely come from foreign markets. Meanwhile, transiting Venus is turning retrograde while exactly opposed to Pitt's Sun, making him a huge celebrity. Saturn goes on to test his partnership planets (Mercury, ruler of his Seventh House, and Venus), so we should find out soon if Angelina has come between Brad and Jennifer.
The composite horoscope also reveals the underlying problem with their marriage. The major dynamic in this chart involves Ceres (the parenting asteroid), which is under severe stress from three outer planets. Over the last two years transiting Pluto has been going back and forth across Ceres, as the couple tried in vain to make a child. Now, as they announce their separation, Pluto is separating from their composite Ceres.
Angelina Jolie and Zahara
NewsScope, July 25, 2005
As one of the most beautiful, talented, and eccentric women in the world, Angelina Jolie can have just about anything she wants. Last month, she took what no one else wanted – a baby Ethiopian girl named Zahara whose mother had just died of AIDS. Zahara joined Jolie's 3-year-old son Maddox, and the three flew to California to stay at Brad Pitt's Malibu estate.
Angelina Jolie was born with Venus Rising (June 4, 1975; 9:09 am; Los Angeles), a fortunate celestial placement that has bestowed her with beauty, wealth and the admiration of millions of fans. Her Venus squares Uranus, adding elements of eroticism and electricity, but also making long-term romantic relationships uncomfortable. The Venus-Uranus aspect elevates her rebellious side, which is underscored by her Moon and Mars in Aries square Saturn.
Over the last three months, transiting Mars was in a prolonged conjunction with her Ceres (as the progressed Sun was sextile). Mars came in the form of Brad Pitt (December 18, 1963; 6:31 am; Shawnee, OK), who is currently experiencing the life-changing transit of Pluto across his Sagittarius Sun. With four planets in paternalistic Capricorn, Brad has always been interested in parenting.
Angelina's progressed Venus is now in a harmonious place (trine Chiron, sextile Uranus), giving her a window to secure a stable and fascinating relationship. However, Angelina's Mars at 10º Aries forms an exact square to Brad's Mars at 10º Capricorn, making this degree area highly volatile for the twosome. Watch for dramatic developments when transiting Uranus hits this degree zone during the second half of February.
Angelina Jolie, Pregnant
NewsScope January 18, 2006
"Yes, I'm pregnant," Angelina Jolie admitted last week. She broke the news in the Dominican Republic, where she's filming The Good Shepherd with Matt Damon. Later in the week, father-to-be Brad Pitt accompanied Angelina to Haiti on a good-will mission. A month ago, the couple filed papers to make Pitt the legal father of Jolie's two adopted children, Zaharia and Maddox.
NewsScope, May 29, 2006. Though she is isolated, Angelina's status and reputation are tremendously enhanced in Namibia at this time, since her progressed Venus is exactly conjunct her relocated Leo Midheaven. Venus here gets treated like royalty, and allows her celebrity-power to wow the locals, as well as increase the international profile of Namibia's natural scenery and wildlife.
Relocating Angelina Jolie's horoscope (June 4, 1975; 9:09 am; Los Angeles) to Walvis Bay, Namibia puts her natal Neptune right on her Ascendant, giving her all the privacy she could want. Neptune also governs the seas, and the Hollywood stars are staying at a sleepy coastal resort. She gave birth as transiting Ceres, the parenting asteroid, entered her relocated fourth house.
Relocating Brad Pitt's chart (December 18, 1963; 6:31 am; Shawnee, OK) to Walvis Bay puts his four Capricorn planets in a cluster around the Midheaven. Paternalistic Capricorn feels in charge here, and he undoubtedly played a major role in enlisting the Namibian government to protect their privacy. His relocated Sun is in the ninth house of foreign places, and is now being activated by a conjunction with life-transforming Pluto.

NewsScope; June 19, 2001. The much anticipated film Tomb Raider opened last Friday, and stars the beautiful, yet edgy Angelina Jolie in the lead role. Jolie plays a karate-chopping, motorcycle-riding heroine who must find an ancient clock that stops time. In a recent interview she said one of the best perks of this film was starring side-by-side with her real life dad, Jon Voight.

The drama continues with some astrological perspectives below:
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston
Become Friends
Brad Pitt was born an adventurous Sagittarian (December 18, 1963; 6:31 pm; Shawnee, OK) with his Moon and several other planets in ambitious Capricorn. Pitt's exalted masculinity can be seen in the placement of his Mars, which is strengthened and matured in Capricorn, and given personal power and mythological courage by closely aspecting Jupiter, Chiron, Uranus, and Pluto.
Jennifer Aniston was born an Aquarius, the sign of friends (February 11, 1969; Sherman Oaks, CA; time unknown). Her Moon in freedom-loving Sagittarius resonates neatly with Pitt's Sun, plus the two have mutual Venus-Mars links, indicating that their sexual compatibility is nothing less than blissful.
While friendship comes naturally to Aniston, Pitt has to work hard to understand this kind of relationship since he has the taskmaster Saturn in Aquarius (and squaring Juno). Their close Sun-Saturn conjunction represents the juice that makes this relationship dynamic, bringing difficult lessons in trust but with the prospect of security and stability. They married as transiting Uranus was exactly conjunct their Sun-Saturn alignment.
Astrological patterns tend to run through families, and many of Jolie's dynamics can be found in Jon Voight's horoscope (December 29, 1938; 11:50 am; Yonkers, NY). Voight also has the Sun-Juno conjunction, and several major placements in Aries. His Sun squaring her Pluto indicates that their relationship has cycled through some bitter feelings of betrayal. Though he left her when she was a toddler, they are now the best of friends.
Jennifer Aniston was born in the friends' sign of Aquarius (February 11, 1969; 10:22 pm; Sherman Oaks, CA). Her Ceres is in cautious Capricorn, and is further repressed by a square to Saturn, a combination which has the effect of delaying or even blocking pregnancy. Brad's Mars, on the other hand, is conjunct her Ceres, so he pushes for children and a traditional nuclear family.
Transiting Saturn has been in a long term opposition to Brad's Sun, fueling the rumors of their mutual disenchantment. Saturn just turned direct and will be opposite his Sun in late April and early May. Then, when Saturn enters Cancer in June
it will hit a major complex in Jennifer's chart (Juno-Chiron-Uranus T-square) that will also severely test their relationship. Patience is the key to surviving this transit, but it only works if they truly love each other.
Angelina Jolie was born a restless Gemini (June 4, 1975; 9:09 am; Los Angeles) with Venus rising in the nest-building sign of Cancer. Venus on the Ascendant is the gift of beauty, and with its square to Uranus, her beauty is unusual in its electric radiance. This Venus square Uranus often leads to sudden upsets in personal relationships, including with her father since Uranus is in the Fourth House of the home.
Jupiter exactly conjunct her Midheaven is very favorable for developing a successful career. Yet can it really provide her with happiness since Jupiter squares Saturn in her Twelfth House? This Jupiter-Saturn square can swing between elation and depression. She woefully wonders what happened to her marriage, but if she had read NewsScope's June 19, 2001 edition, she would have seen it coming.
NewsScope, December 15, 2003. Brad Pitt was born with his Sun and Ascendant in the story-telling sign of Sagittarius (December 18, 1963; 6:31 am; Shawnee, OK). Mars, the war planet, is found in ambitious Capricorn, and given a sense of adventure by squaring Jupiter. Mars is also favorably linked to all three of the outer planets, so that his personal actions reflect the inspiration, independence, and power of an entire generation.
Chiron, the so-called Wounded healer, squares the Ascendant. Chiron's prominence suggests that Pitt struggles with his public image, which seems perfect, but inside he must know that he is an ordinary mortal. Chiron's myth resonates with Achilles' myth, since Chiron's only weakness was his heel which was accidentally struck by a poisonous arrow.
At the time Pitt injured his Achilles tendon, transiting Juno, the marriage asteroid, was right on his Ascendant and squaring his Chiron. As far as anyone knows, his marriage with Jennifer Aniston remains a storybook romance, but this injury indicates tension there.
We will watch with interest as Pitt begins filming the thriller "Mr. And Mrs. Smith" with Angelina Jolie.
Hollywood 's premier glamour couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston announced late last week that they are separating. Rumors of their troubles were sparked last summer when tabloids reported that Jennifer was upset over how close Brad got to Angelina Jolie while they were making a film together, as first forecast back in December 16, 2003 (see also May 18, 2004).
Astrologically, Saturn is all over their charts now. Brad Pitt (December 18, 1963; 6:31 am; Shawnee, OK) has a Moon-Venus conjunction in the patriarchal sign of Capricorn. Saturn, the ultimate love tester, is in the closing phase of a long-term opposition to this Moon-Venus.
Jennifer Aniston (February 11, 1969; 10:22 pm; Sherman Oaks, CA) has natal Saturn on her Seventh House cusp, the house of partnerships. Transiting Saturn is now on her Midheaven (reputation, public standing), and forming a challenging square to her natal Saturn.
Astrologers also investigate relation-ships by making a composite horoscope, which is the combination of their two charts. The composite Sun is the midpoint between their individual Suns, and is located at 24 degrees Capricorn. Transiting Saturn at the moment is at 24 degrees Cancer, where it forms an exact opposition.
Last Wednesday, Brad Pitt dropped out of the film "State of Play" only two days before production was scheduled to begin. Described as a political thriller and based on a popular BBC mini-series, the film was specifically centered around Pitt as the lead character. Pitt had some problems with the script, which couldn't be re-written due to the writers strike.
Brad Pitt's Sagittarius Sun (December 18, 1963; 6:31 am; Shawnee, OK) is in a close square with his Midheaven, indicating

This anti-authoritarian vibe ruled her life until her Ceres was activated. Ceres, the asteroid governing the parent-child relationship, is found in her tenth house of public standing, and is placed in stable Taurus. Jolie unexpectedly found a higher purpose in her life when her progressed Midheaven formed a conjunction with Ceres in mid-2000.
This is when she read the film script Beyond Borders which highlighted the plight of Cambodian refugees. Soon after, she adopted her Cambodian son Maddox. Last month, Jolie's progressed Sun was exactly sextile her Ceres, as once again she took in an abandoned child. With natal Uranus in her fourth house of home, Jolie has had her problems with her father, actor Jon Voight. But Uranus here, in its highest expression, is the global citizen.
